Picking up where we left off last week...

One year after her iconic breakthrough as bisexual glitter goddess Crystal Connors in Showgirls, Gina Gershon went all the way to the lady-loving side opposite jugalicious Jennifer Tilly in Bound, which opened in theaters on this date in 1996.

Directed by The Wachowski Brothers, later of Matrix fame, Bound is a twisty, twisted thriller in which Mafia moll Jen falls for ultra sexy tough-girl lesbo Gina. Together they plot to make off with $2 million of mobster Joe Pantoliano’s money – but not until they make it with each other a lot first … and then after … and even during the grand scheme.

Bound is stylish and captivating, and it clearly announced the Wachowskis as filmmaking talents to watch. More skin-portantly, Bound also forever rendered Gina Gershon a Sapphic sex goddess (also see her skinteracial lust-fest with Shakara Ledard in Prey for Rock & Roll), and for many fans it provided the first revelation of Jennifer’s mighty, mighty suckle-sacks.

From the beginning, this movie was Bound for greatness.

Though painfully hot brunettes Gina Gershon and Elizabeth Hurley aren't twins, they are both sharing a birthday today (under the sign of Gemini) and both have earned a place in the coveted Mr. Skin Hall of Fame.

Gina burned her way into my heart with scorching sapphist-icated performances in a pair of movies nearly as sublime as her pair of boobies. The first is the role of bisexual Las Vegas dancing girl Cristal Connors in the masterful (and masturbateable) 1995 classic Showgirls. And the second is her portrayal of Corky, a Ms. Fix-it who's less interested in flushing pipes than cleaning carpets in the erotic thriller Bound (1996).

Liz hasn't gone lez, but she definitely got me playing with my piccolo way back in 1987 as Marietta in the operatic comedy-drama Aria. Then in 1995, Ms. Hurley had me in the unlikely position of wishing I were Soul Man C. Thomas Howell in Shameless, where she submitted to the E.T. star's sexual advances in a very topless fashion

It's not every day we get two Mr. Skin hall-of-famers sharing a birthday, so get out there and start whacking those pinatas!
